If you have to work overtime to make up your wages, then obviously you in the wrong trade. Get a job in offices you will be looked after by shiny pants and B!lko. If he ever comes back. Abusing the sick scheme

Such a shame for the forever downtrodden shop floor, you forget how much you have milked the company with unnecessary weekend working and overtime.

Back on 6-2/2-10. No contract change. Shop floor mingle for 15 minutes while changing shift.
